    What wireless encryption are you using? Are you broadcasting the SSID. Have you checked that the password (assuming you have enabled encryption) you entered into the laptop when attempting to connect to the router is correct and you haven't made a keying error?

    How can you expect anyone to help you if you don't tell us what exactly you have done, what settings are in place etc etc?
